To begin in SH4 ?

Chisum · 09-28-13, 12:01 PM

Hi mates,

For the first time, I'll start to play on SH4.
Better late than never !
Is there any things I should know ?
Some things that I must absolutely do and not do ?

My game is already patched in 1.4 but no more at least.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. Don't run out of gas. There is no fly home for free button like there is in SH3. So keep an eye on that fuel gauge.

Welcome aboard the Pacific.

And if you do run out of gas while learning, there is always a game cheat until you get back at base. You do not have to start a new campaign or anything like that.

Go to Your Documents folder\SH4\Data\Cfg. Open up the gameplaysettings.cfg. Change LimitedFuel=true to LimitedFuel=false. Save file. Start game and get back to base.

Works for SH3 and SH5, too.

Do not leave crew on the MAIN DECK or GUNS when submerge during a depth charge attack. The crew are unprotected there because of a SH4 oversight.

And always remember to take your crew off Battle Stations when the battle is over. Otherwise, you'll be commanding a crew of sleep-deprived zombies after awhile.

You'll have lots of questions. Don't be afraid to ask. When you can, upgrade to 1.5, then add the supermods. You'll be glad you did.

Hi all and thanks again for every answer.

I want just ask a last Q: is it somewhere a FREE mod, addon or a patche for the original version of SH IV ??

Happy new year all.

The 'U-boat missions' was originally an expansion for the base game, I think.

Now, it will variously be found as a download 'patch', on disc, or in the 'Gold Edition', where v1.5 patch is integral to the game. That's the one I have, so I'm not sure what else might be available.

It is definitely NOT free. Most of us here have bought more than one version of the game, as we had to get the patched version after already buying an earlier one. Why any earlier versions are still sold is beyond me.

Earlier patches might be free from Ubisoft, but these would be worth very little, as you need v1.5 to really have a worthwhile game.

Okay, if I must pay to play, I'm going to the casino, not to Ubisoft.
I think I will forget SH4.
Thank you anyway mate.
